If you loved how Martise is sent to Silhara’s remote holdings and their uneasy lessons turn to loyalty while a corrupting power presses in, you’ll click with Uprooted. Agnieszka is taken to the Dragon’s tower for rough-edged training, their prickly lessons thaw into trust, and together they face the creeping rot of the Woods—much like Silhara’s fight against Corruption—blending charged chemistry with dangerous, ancient magic.
The way Silhara and Martise move from obligation and secrets to genuine partnership is echoed beautifully in Radiance. Brishen and Ildiko begin as political strangers, build easy banter into steadfast affection, and face external pressures with the same ride-or-die loyalty you enjoyed when Martise chose Silhara over the Conclave’s schemes.
If Silhara’s battle with the god called Corruption gripped you, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms delivers that intensity in spades. Yeine is thrust into a palace where captive deities—especially the lethal, alluring Nahadoth—warp politics and desire. Like Martise navigating the Conclave’s orders amid Silhara’s peril, Yeine must decide whom to trust as divine darkness tempts and endangers her.
Much of Master of Crows thrives on close-quarters tension in Silhara’s isolated estate, where small choices carry heavy weight. The Bird and the Sword keeps that intimate scale: Lark’s forbidden gift binds her to King Tiras, their connection unfolding within castles and courts where secrets, oaths, and whispered power—like Martise hiding her magic from the Conclave—can save or doom them.
If Silhara’s sharp tongue, ruthless reputation, and buried tenderness won you over, try Poison Study. Condemned Yelena becomes the Commander’s food taster under Valek, an assassin-spymaster whose choices are as pragmatic as Silhara’s bargains with the Conclave. As Yelena’s magic stirs and threats tighten, their guarded rapport deepens into trust and desire—much like Martise and Silhara’s hard-won bond under constant danger.
